Greetings to all and sundry and I hope that you had a hugely merry festive season without having to accomodate too many ancient and incontinent relatives. I have a small question. The missus recently purchased a very nice and expensive cast iron frying pan made by Le Creuset of France. The thing is coated with teflon. How weird is that. A fine cast iron pan should last a lifetime; the coating does eventually break down rendering the pan useless except as a weapon - and it would take a very fit person to wield it. Why would such a reputable manufacturer plaster their product with teflon? We have several other items by this maker and by jingo they're the best cookware we've ever come across. If they'd left the frying pan with just an iron surface it would have lasted so long I'd have been able to fry black pudding in Heaven.
